Health and travel insurance is optional but highly recommended. Students may arrange insurance at their own cost to meet their needs for the duration of their studies in Hong Kong.

The coverage should include provisions for emergency evacuation, rescuer’s expenses and repatriation. If you plan to travel outside Hong Kong, you should make sure that your insurance policy covers those destinations as well.

Registered incoming exchange students are entitled to HKU Group Travel Insurance (Portal login required to read the details) for travelling from Hong Kong to overseas on activities which are officially arranged by the University.
